I open my hands up to see what I've gotMy days slip like coins into a slot they are goneAnd the shadows lie longI've been banking on a broken machine, left unattended like most of my dreamsRusty components of an unmarked songWe've been staring down the brilliant dream, the sun burns our eyesWe've been fighting for the love of our lives

All around us things come apart, broken pieces and broken heartsFix me, oil me, match me with the next best thingPerson to person, nation to nation, heals the gate of communicationWhile it's time the time sneaks her weatheringWe've been wanting to be held by binding tiesWe've been fighting for the love of our lives

And when it breaks down I beg you don't goI sickle your ship I'm ready to blowI try to out think you with an army of wordsI strategize; I am fighting for the love of my lifeIron, water, oxygen, scotch and soda or any combination starts the reactionIs there no mastermind of modern dayWho can blueprint a plan to make love stay sturdy and weatherproof, ushering in a new revolutionAt the drawing board the hopeful ones still tryHow can we help it when we're fighting for the love of our lives
